Today, as part of Ege University Spring Festival, Uğur gave a workshop at Ege University Cultural Centre (MÖTBE) on making accessories in fibre art style. While the workshop was open to every one, we observed that the majority of the participants were the staff of Ege University Institute of Medical Sciences, which made us very happy and we are thankful to them.

In her presentation, Uğur introduced the participants to fibre art as a means of jewellery and explained the techniques she has developed exemplifying them with samples of fibre art earrings. Along with Uğur the participants also designed and created earrings using fibrous materials like leather strips, wire, handmade paper and paper yarn, tulle, hand-woven silk and silk shantung fabrics.

Our sincere thanks go to Professor Ziynet Özdoğan, Lecturer Şükran Tümer and Research Assistant Aslı İlleez from Ege University Emel Akın Vocational High School Fashion Design Department for organising this very nice event.
